    ROCKS OF PAIN.

    ______________



Waves are crashing on the shore,

the salty spume is flying.

Above the sea's deep throated roar

I hear the sea birds crying.

Beyond the bay the wreck still shows,

it's lain there many a year

battered by the tidal flows

with no one left to care.



I come here when the pain cuts deep,

pray wind and wave for healing,

longing for eternal sleep

to end this ache I'm feeling.

Once we walked along this shore;

you loved me then, I know.

Though I will love you evermore

you said you had to go.



Shards of pain skewer my heart,

abandoned on this lonely reef,

tides of tears now we're apart,

tossed up upon these rocks of grief.

The torment that I feel inside

is echoed by this restless sea.

I wish that it could override

this aching loneliness in me.



If only this fresh salted sea

could wash away my tears and pain,

bear your love back here to me

from far across this ocean main.

Time and tide they come and go

but grieving never leaves my soul,

my spray of tears willever flow.

Without your love I can't be whole.



One day your surf will call my name

to come to your caressing deep

I'll let your waters stake their claim

to cover me in endless sleep.

Each day I watch your billows roll

awaiting solace and relief.

Oh ocean, ocean, soothe my soul,

there is no healing for this grief !
